Influencing work

  • Home Truths 2 is a new programme of work from ACEVO and Voice4Change England designed to challenge and support mainstream UK civil society to take serious practical action on anti-racism and race equity. Over the course of the next 18 months, Home Truths 2 will engage stakeholders from across civil society, including senior leaders, staff and those working within and alongside civil society organisations in a targeted practical programme of activity. Home Truths 2 will offer practical resources and guidance to mainstream civil society in general. The work includes approaches to calculating and remedying ethnic pay disparities, integrating race equity into the core mission and bringing senior leaders together to drive forward their anti-racist and race equity practice.

Latest resources

  • As an employer, you may be intrigued by the potential of AI to optimise working practices and help your charity grow. However, this is relatively uncharted territory, and with a steady stream of media reports highlighting the potential risks and dangers associated with AI, it’s natural to have concerns. ACEVO’s partner WorkNest has produced a member briefing discussing three key AI-related issues that employers must be alert to and how to address these potential problems so that AI helps rather than hinders your future success.
